Question

Find the midpoint of the line segment with end coordinates of:
(
4
,
−
8
)
and
(
−
4
,
2
). Help

Answer 1

The coordinates appear kinda wonky on my screen but are these the correct coordinates? (4,-8) and (-4,2)

What you will need is the mid-point formula.

The midpoint formula is:

(x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

x1 = 4, x2 = -4, y1 = -8, y2 = 2

We just need to plug in the known values and solve

(4 + -4)/2, (-8+2)/2

0/2, -6/2

(0,-3)

The answer is (0,-3)

Hope this helps!
